Former University of Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino is asking a federal judge to quash subpoenas for his phone records, accusing the school's athletic association of a "fishing expedition" in new court documents filed Tuesday.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Colin H. Lindsay ordered Pitino on Feb. 19 to cooperate and provide information to help ULAA subpoena records from his phone carrier companies.

ULAA's subpoenas target AT&T as well as Rick Avare, Pitino's longtime business partner, and two LLCs linked to the MAP Foundation, a nonprofit directed by Avare and ex-NBA player Jamal Mashburn, who played for Pitino at the University of Kentucky. The three men have collaborated on multiple business ventures.

Pitino's attorneys objected to the broad scope of ULAA's subpoenas and characterized them as a "fishing expedition."

"ULAA is entitled to obtain documents on issues or facts related to this case; it is not entitled to surf through Coach Pitino’s unrelated ... business affairs," the motion said. "(The Court) should bar ULAA from enforcing its subpoenas to the identified extent that they are overbroad."

The subpoenas for Avare and the businesses also ask for information related to the FBI complaint, Adidas, Pitino's employment contracts with Louisville, and the school's escort scandal and resulting NCAA infractions case.

ULAA asked AT&T to produce call records and texts from two of Pitino's phone numbers dating back to January 2016. Pitino's attorneys argued the request should be limited only to information related to the case.

Pitino's lawsuit claims breach of contract and seeks $4.3 million a year — the value of his contract — from the date of the school's last payment through its end in June 2026.

ULAA filed a countersuit and has argued that the school had grounds to fire Pitino based on three claims: That the university received bad publicity resulting from Pitino's willful misconduct; that Pitino failed to report sports agent Christian Dawkins’ presence on campus and the "suspicious" nature of Bowen’s late commitment to play at Louisville; and that the NCAA determined Pitino had committed Level 1 violations.
